Hi
Could you tell me what velocity and spring constant you are using? Try once
with decreasing the velocity and/or increasing the spring stiffness. I am
assuming you are using constant velocity method. May be you can attach the
configuration file you are using.

Dear all ,
I used the SMD method to streching dimer , such as the deca-ala tutorial .
And the error is error1 . Could you tell me how to fix the problem ? thx
